Still Life, book by Barbara Kassel

Many of the paintings in this BOOK were painted directly from still life set ups. In the larger paintings that include both interior and still life, I work from different set ups and then collage them within the painting space. Working this way allows for a fluid and sometimes surprising play between the objects and their surroundings. My objects are chosen for their formal properties and their ability to evoke narrative and symbolic aspects.
